Do you say hi to... ? - Toyota Yaris Forums

bkndacn · 06-08-2010, 05:11 PM

Ok so I have done this since I've bought my Yaris and I am wondering if I am the only one!

Whenever I see another Yaris (usually just the HB bc thats what I have) I either wave, honk (friendly Honk), or acknowledge the person in the other car in some way....

I just wanted to know if I am the only one who does this or if I am just weird!

Also can we start an official Yaris acknowledgement similar to how the Motorcyclists have their low-wave...

i got too many yaris in my town (lots of asian people who dont mind driving smaller subcompacts, and i am an asian too if u are wondering) so i rarely do that, but once in a while when i pass by a modded one, i either know who's it is or just give them a headturn lol

I was doing this when I go my yaris in 07 and other people were doing it also in my area (So Cal) but I haven't really done it lately.

It would be cool to have a Yaris signal or something =P

I just give them the "sup" nod if I see nice mods. Otherwise, I'll still look but be indifferent

I stare o_o

If it's the bayou blue one, I smile at the driver

PerfectoII · 06-08-2010, 05:44 PM

All the time...a quick double wave...

kac · 06-08-2010, 05:46 PM

I'll look and give a wave if I can tell that they are also looking my way.

bkndacn · 06-08-2010, 05:48 PM

see there aren't that many Yari in the Monterey area.... I was told by the Toyota dealership (who only had one singular Yaris in his lot :-( ) that this is a "Higher end area" (hence the overwhelming Prius population) because of this whenever I see another Yaris I secretly hope that it is someone on here!

We should have an official YARIS WORLD WAVE/SIGNAL
hahaha

falkor_99 · 06-08-2010, 05:50 PM

I agree with the secret wave!! It could be like doing a shadow bunny. Ya know peace sign with the thumb in the middle =P thats what popped in my mind right away.

Red Horse · 06-08-2010, 05:53 PM

I only honk if they have a yarisworld sticker, but until now I havent found any.

bkndacn · 06-08-2010, 05:53 PM

We just have to make sure its not a Gang sign! lol I don't wana git shot!

falkor_99 · 06-08-2010, 06:07 PM

Yeah that would be the main problem lol We could make it the Vulcan sign?!?!

ddongbap · 06-08-2010, 06:10 PM

I look at them like an elitist, and speed off.

YAR1S · 06-08-2010, 06:12 PM

hmmmm a hand signal would be weird to flash to a complete stranger.... lol

bkndacn · 06-08-2010, 06:17 PM

Yar1s : Exactly!

wooverstone8 · 06-08-2010, 09:03 PM

Yep, it's gotten to the point that you can't roll down any street in Van City without seeing a Yaris. Funny thing is I seem to notice more hatchbacks compared to sedans. Maybe it's because I drive a hatch.

And, no, I don't say hi to other drivers. It just seems sort of funny doing that to a complete stranger.
